Best album, hands down

Best Pinback album, period. And that's saying a lot because Pinback has a solid catalogue (second best: Summer in Abaddon). I discovered Pinback through "Good to Sea" on Sirius, bought the album and was frankly blown away. From Nothing to Nowhere is a stellar start to the album; once the "Co-sign my letter" refrain comes in, holy crap: awesome, and you're hooked. All the countermelodies are distinctively captivating throughout and the tempo changes are brilliant. Blue Harvest, Subbing For Eden...on and on. But "Devil You Know" is the standout track in a goldmine of fun. Wow. Can't recommend this album enough - tremendously important addition to every music library.

Well done

Pinback makes some of the best chilled out alternative rock out there if not the best. One of their best albums so far. Hopefully Information Retrieved will be even better. Although my favorite songs appear on different albums. This album has plenty of great songs with good songs surrounding those great ones. Good to Sea is definitely one of the great ones along with the bonus track. I love torch. Really I love almost all of them. Buy the album.

In the first few days of 1998, Smith (of San Diego-based Three Mile Pilot) and Crow (of Thingy and Heavy Vegetable) formed a part-time recording project under the name Pinback. The simple plan grew more involved while Three Mile Pilot took an indefinite hiatus...
